I'm a little confused. He characterizes this as a litmus test: “a submission may be rejected for ethical considerations, including methods, applications, or data that create or reinforce unfair bias”. Aren't ethical considerations an important part of scientific research?
"Ethical considerations" sounds nice, and is very vague. The problem is the agendas that get pushed under this cover. For example, see:https://spectator.us/life/militant-liberals-politicizing-artificial-intelligence/ …
